Relax. . . don’t do it. (Listen to this drivel that is)

Pretty in Pink is good. The rest is replaceable 80s.

I could hang with this. Not sure it would be on regular rotation - but as far as Electronica on the list this was good-ish.

Missy Elliott is truly Supa Dupa Fly. Great beats and rhymes.

Super vanilla, uninspired covers by Sinatra.

Little Richard, along with Chuck Berry are just the backbone of everything that is tangentially rock related.

Great record. No Magic School Bus though.

For 90s Britpop I didn’t hate it. Also didn’t love it.

David Johansen was an American treasure.

Back when hipsters added strings to everything. This is fine but otherwise unmemorable mid aughts indie.

I don’t know man. Fun psych and proto-noise? I can hang. Got a bit long in the tooth towards the end. But still a good listen.

Well this sucks.

I can hang with this. Pretty swing-y but with a bop edge.

Does every musician in Brazil have the last name Gilberto?

Anyways - you hear one bossanova record you hear them all.

Michael’s disco record is better than it should be - I’ll give most of that to the Quincy Jones production, which is out of sight. Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough is stupidly good.

My hope/guess is Michael was not sexually abusing children at this point so I will not deduct stars for that.

A fun listen. Straddling the line between Punk and Hardcore. And Henry Rollins is a saint.

The beats on this are pretty incredible. Unfortunately the content has not aged well at all.

I know a lot of things get labeled “the best ever/the greatest of all time” but for my money Kind of Blue is up there as maybe the best Jazz record ever.

This is the record that I can put on no matter what my mood is and it just fits perfect.

Sugar!

The less Brian Eno-y aspects of this I dug. Sometimes it just got up its own ass.

If this record were not had Chain of Fools and a bunch of terrible songs it’d still be five stars. Lucky for us everything Aretha touches here is gold.
